this dress caught my eye at the street fair in NYC this weekend. the colors are so bright and deep and I think it would be fun to wear. not sure the cost or where you can find it but keep an eye out if you live in nyc!

there have been times in my life when i have been earring obsessed . and when you have earrings you need a place to hold them .

here are some fun earring holders. this one is from mod cloth and is $14.99:

this one is from urban outfitters and is only $10 :

this is a great idea from the etsy shop of retrograndma

this is from the etsy shop of timothyadamdesigns

in the interest of using old/recycled products . I keep my earrings on an old mesh post it note older. Check it out:

you can buy these mesh holders from any office supply store . Here is one for $3 from staples .

it might be time for me to buy a new earring holder. what do you think?

this is what you see when you walk into the door .



they were such a great deal at $2.95 each. they add a great summer feel to the apartment .

anyone that goes to moo.com to make notes, mini-cards, stickers etc. must have seen the amazing andrea joseph's work . she is really incredible and i am taken by her talent .

she captures objects in a way that makes them fanciful and soft .

take for example this one:

i have an obsession with pens and how fun would this piece of art be in your home office, craft room or inspiration room . for me it would be perfect.

this is another favorite that i found on andrea's blog . check it out: Sketchblog

and this one makes me think of home. i miss the hills and mountains .

which is your favorite of andrea's art?

spring is here and summer is close…this was obvious in NYC this weekend . i was lucky to happen upon a great little street fair near my apartment and did some fun shopping and found some great inspiration .

i discovered lolabean , jewelry designed by tiffany bean . i was instantly hooked bought this beautiful necklace . i them promptly bought it!

tiffany bean's jewelry is quaint and beautiful . she combines charms and gems in a way that is so feminine and lovely .

my favorite pieces incorporated owls and birds .
